The Peri Pave production board consists of a base board made from engineered birch plywood (hardwood) that is coated with a special, recyclable laminate on both sides

To equip the Peri Pave board with an RFID transponder, a routing machine cuts out a circular segment from the surface. After insertion of the RFID tag, this cut-out is closed again using a tiny Pave slice

Users of production boards for the manufacture of concrete blocks can choose from conventional materials such as steel, softwood or hardwood, but the share of solid-plastic or wood-plastic composite boards is increasing continuously.

Users are spoiled for choice regarding the wide range of base materials that production boards for the manufacture of concrete blocks consist of. Conventional materials such as steel, softwood or hardwood are increasingly being replaced with solid plastic or wood-plastic composites. Furthermore, the RFID technology is gaining ground in the world of production boards. However, opinions diverge regarding the speed and intensity of this trend.
